I think the only kind of marriage one can breakup is one's own. Other peoples' have to have problems of their own or they wouldn't be susceptible to breakup.

agree with perna. if its breaking up then there are other problems. there has to be problems for someone to stray in the first place. takes 2 to tango. cheesy but appropriate.

I agree with perna, but I also wouldn't want to be the other woman.

Yes while it takes two to tango (to have a sexual affair with) and while there was probably already problems with in a marriage to even entice a spouse to go astray....... it still was not the marriage problem that necessarily broke up the marriage, but rather the sexual cheating became the last straw - other wise the marriage may have stood the test of time.

I say this for while my 21 year marriage is far from perfect and we defiantly have problems and issues within our marriage we are still together / still in a marriage together....... but if my husband was to cheat then he would be out the door and the marriage would be over (not if or's or but's about it).

SO YES - another person can break up a marriage.

AND NO - I have never broken up a marriage.

Having been cheated on more than once, I know it is a symptom of a greater issue, one that a wife or husband may not even know exists. So no, another can not break up a marriage per se, but let me ask you this...if someone wants to be with you so badly that they're willing to leave their marriage, wouldn't you want to make them totally leave that marriage to prove how much they want to be with you? I figure if I'm worth loving, you should be free to totally love me, no strings. And another thing I've learned, especially about women, we want what every other woman has, and it's a boost to our ego to get it, even if we don't really want it once we have it! (Yes, women have an ego too!)

wounded1, I am sorry that you had to go throught all that. I, however, want what makes me happy and fulfilled, not just something another woman has.

Nearly.

I was persuaded otherwise.
